Bolero!

Continuing on with the Anthro idea that elements drawn from early 30s beach pajama/resort dress ensembles can work as part of a modern day/street wear look, I'm eager to integrate the sleeveless bolero jacket/vest idea into my wardrobe this year.  As luck would have it, I just scored an early 30s beauty on the 'bay! Watch for it in future outfit posts, once it arrives and I'm in warmer climes! I'm thinking of wearing it like the gal on the cover of Modes et Travaux at bottom of the page: over a white dress.
